    Capacitor network finding potential

    3.1E-6 is from series. so you add them by 1/C and the answer is 1/c. so for the first one i did 1/8.6E-6 + 1/4.8E-6 = 1/C where C is 3.1E-6 4.1E-6 is also from series. i did 1/6.2E-6 + 1/11.8E-6 = 1/C where C is 4.1E-6. 7.6E-6 is parallel so you just add them. i added 4.1E-6 to 3.5E-6

    Capacitor network finding potential

    final capacitance = 1.48E-5 F. i combined 3.1E-6, 4.1E-6 and 7.6E-6

    Capacitor network finding potential

    i did this in three steps. i found C from the first two as a series. then i found c from the top two as a series. then i used my answer from the top two and the lower capacitator as a parallel network. so in the last calculation i did 4E-6. AH! there is my mistake. before i had my old...

    Capacitor network finding potential

    ok. adding all the Cs gives me 1.2E-5. i plugged this into the formula U=.5CV^2. for v i used 12 and solved for u

    Capacitor network finding potential

    my bad. i don't know what i did wrong, but i redid it and got u=8.64E-4.

    Capacitor network finding potential

    i then got a total capatance of 1.21E-5 F and a total energy of 0.0027 J

    Capacitor network finding potential

    i re-did it and got 4E-6. is this right?
